Once you hone in on a basic look, you can add finishing touches such as structure, ClearView, soft contrast and a host of other tools. There are a bunch of them there to choose from, and DxO has been working on these for years. If you don't see any presets that you like, then I recommend that you choose 000 Neutral and move over to the film types on the right side. If you find something you like, then select it and move over to the right side of the interface to fine-tune the image's appearance with the variety of tools available. If nothing else, they help you explore the possibilities with your photo. The presets are visible on the left side of the interface, and they are a good starting point. Silver Efex will also accept Jpegs, but without the nifty return-to-edit feature. I recommend exporting the file from your photo management app as a Tiff so you can return to the project and retain your edits. So that left me with Photoshop for roundtripping. (In fact, make sure Capture One Pro is not open when working with Silver Efex 3 or it will muck up your workflow.) I also could not get it to work with the Creative Cloud version of Lightroom or Photos for macOS. I tried it with Capture One Pro, and it behaved like it knew what to do, but in the end the experiment failed. You can use Silver Efex as a standalone app or as a plugin for Lightroom Classic and Photoshop. If you work with Tiff files, you have the option to retain all of the edits so you can return to the image and pick up where you left off. This new version released by DxO updated the interface, added presets, now includes DxO's ClearView technology, and made the control points easier to use. Then along came Silver Efex 3, and truly, a good thing got better. And much like a black tux that never goes out of style, so remained my favorite application for digital black and white photography. That wasn't really a problem however because it's good. All through its journey from Nik, to Google, to DxO, Silver Efex has more or less remained the same.
